San Diego CA for that So Cal laid back beach atmosphere plus a good tech scene if you are or can be oriented toward biotech.

Santa Fe NM - feels like it has roots. Unique culture and great food. National Labs - Sandia and Los Alamos not too far away for a good science flavoring.

Boulder CO - great outdoor recreation opportunities, university and research institutes support science and tech vibe

A friend just emailed me and told me about San Diego. Somehow I can't get to love the place. I don't know why.

Santa Fe: never been, on my list. Sandia and Los Alamos are two things that I never considered about Santa Fe.

Boulder: love it there. My wife and I even have a favorite restaurant, Frasca. If you happen to go, try it out. The owner is super kind.
